2 tablespoon (medium) of Olive oil lemon salad dressing (30 g) has 123 calories. That works out to 410 calories per 100 g. It contains 0.7 g of carbs, 0.1 g of protein, 13.4 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its 16.5 µg of Vitamin K covers 14% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 10 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Olive oil lemon salad dressing is a simple blend of olive oil and lemon juice, often seasoned with salt and pepper. It is easy to make at home by shaking the ingredients together; they may separate as the dressing stands, so give it another shake before serving.
Its bright acidity and fruity, rounded oiliness suit leafy greens, tomato salads and other everyday sides. Around the Mediterranean it is commonly drizzled over salads served with a meal, grilled fish or vegetables; it also works as a quick dressing for beans. It is mostly fat, with very little protein or carbohydrate. For a lighter-tasting salad, use a little less dressing or add extra lemon juice, and toss just before serving.

Olive oil lemon salad dressing is made by whisking olive oil with fresh lemon juice and salt. Add black pepper, garlic, or mustard if you like, then taste and adjust before tossing it with salad.
A useful starting point for olive oil lemon salad dressing is three parts oil to one part lemon juice. Add more lemon for a sharper dressing, then balance the flavor with salt to suit the salad.
Olive oil lemon salad dressing separates because oil and lemon juice do not stay mixed on their own. Whisk it again or shake it in a sealed jar just before serving to temporarily bring the ingredients together.
Homemade olive oil lemon salad dressing keeps for a few days in a sealed container in the refrigerator. If it contains fresh garlic, use it promptly and do not leave it sitting at room temperature for extended periods.
Yes, you can refrigerate olive oil lemon salad dressing. The olive oil may turn cloudy or partly solid when cold; let the dressing sit briefly at room temperature and shake it before using.
You can add mustard, minced garlic, black pepper, or chopped herbs to olive oil lemon salad dressing. Mustard also helps the oil and lemon juice stay combined a little longer, though the dressing will still separate eventually.
Olive oil lemon salad dressing pairs well with leafy greens, tomato and cucumber salads, and salads with chickpeas or other beans. Its bright acidity also works as a finishing dressing for cooked vegetables.
Add olive oil lemon salad dressing just before serving. Dressing delicate leaves too early can make them wilt, so shake the dressing first and toss the salad shortly before it reaches the table.
Olive oil lemon salad dressing is usually used uncooked. Heating it dulls the fresh lemon flavor, so add it after cooking as a finishing touch for vegetables, fish, or a warm grain salad.
Yes, a little finely grated lemon zest gives olive oil lemon salad dressing a stronger citrus aroma. Grate only the yellow outer peel, since the white pith underneath can taste bitter.
